Has anyone heard of a historian that would have been hanging around
Sharpsburg circa 1910 by the name of Ropes? His first name may have
been Chuck. Thanks.

Stephen, Given the date of 1910, it is probably not the historian John Codman Ropes (1836-1899)who did much writing about the ACW. I have not found anything

Stephen,

Given the date of 1910, it is probably not the historian John Codman Ropes (1836-1899)who did much writing about the ACW. I have not found anything showing that he visited Sharpsburg at all. Carman (Pierro) cites him on page 193 re Franklin.

Tom, Thanks. Perhaps when I find the correct date it might be what this Mr. Ropes was alive. Stephen ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I am trying to find out about Maggie Boteler, a resident of
Shepherdstown who hosted a number of wounded Confederates after
Antietam.

I'd like to know where her house is (was?). Also, in The Antietam
Campaign book, Robert Krick has an article called "Sharpsburg's Bloody
Lane" that references an auction catalog from November 30, 1996,
Signature House, Monkton, MD, that includes letters form Margie. Does
anyone have a copy of this catalog or know where I can get a look at
the letters contained therein?

Thanks,
Stephen

Dear Stephen,

I have "The Antietam Campaign" book edited by Gary Gallagher with
Krick's essay about the Sunken Road. What is the footnote
reference page for Maggie Boteler?

Also, have you thought of contacting the Shepherdstown Historical
Society for information on where she lived at the time?
